Summary:  Beginning with a recent 10.8.4 seed, and still present in the GM release (12D55), is a regression in the dev toolchain that causes every fresh build and run in the Simulator to crash with a message like this in the log:

Couldn't register com.kashoo.mobile.Kashoo-ipad-Dev with the bootstrap server. Error: unknown error code (1100).
This generally means that another instance of this process was already running or is hung in the debugger.

Steps to Reproduce:  Build and run a project targeting iOS 6.1 simulator.

Expected Results:  Process is launched in the iOS simulator and runs.

Actual Results:  Process crashes in the simulator, and a message (unknown error 1100) is logged, as above.

Regression:  Worked properly (same project/code) under 10.8.3 and earlier OS.

Notes:  The workaround is to manually quit the iOS simulator after every run.

This is more of an inconvenience with the dev toolchain rather than an end-user crash or data loss scenario, so I'm classifying as "performance" rather than "crash/hang/data loss".

Typo in the summary; by 12D55 I meant 12E55.

Also look for Zombie processes

I and my coworker are seeing the same thing. We are also seeing zombie processes. Entering ps -el | grep Z in the terminal shows a zombie process for each attempted run. Restarting is the only way to get rid of the zombie processes.
